Paddle Boarding

Stand up paddle boarding (SUP) began in the 1960s and has recently become very popular. Surfers use stand up paddleboards for training, photographers use SUPs to position themselves for great pictures, and others use SUPs for recreation and sport. Its popularity is most likely attributed to how easy it is to learn and get started since beginners can become comfortable and confident in under an hour of training and practice. Stand up paddle boarding is also incredibly popular with women. Some surfers have even switched to stand up paddle boards because it allows them to get into position to catch waves much faster.

2017 F-One Ocean SUPFoil Race

Read more on what F-One says about the 2017 F-One Ocean SUPFoil Race

The 2017 F-One Ocean SUPFoil Race aim is to surf the ocean swell downwind to lift off with a race supfoil and glide off as far as possible. This type of practice is a little more restrictive as it requires the right logistics and weather forecast, but what a feeling it is to glide above the swell with nothing more than a SUP and a paddle. The 2017 F-One Ocean SUPFoil Race shape of the OCEAN 10’ is not only restricted to downwind racing but is also suited to surfing outside reefs. On the 2017 F-One Ocean SUPFoil Race it becomes possible to catch and surf the waves that rise further offshore and then paddle back to the peak after a long surf, even if that’s going upwind. Race Supfoiling becomes a mix of navigating and flying.

What kind of board is required to take-off on a downwinder and what kind of board is required to maintain flight as long as possible? The 2017 F-One Ocean SUPFoil Race has opted for a length of 10’ to get enough speed to catch the swell and bumps, while remaining light and compact enough for the behavior in flight. The 2017 F-One Ocean SUPFoil Race started from such a blank page, we were able to unleash our design experience and get out of the beaten tracks. The 2017 F-One Ocean SUPFoil Race outline, volume, rocker, hull and nose shape are all previously unseen on a racing SUP board. 2017 F-One Ocean SUPFoil Race box location and feet position have been optimized for an early lift off to maximize your enjoyment and the distance with your trailing competitors.

2017 F-One Magic SUPFoil

Read more on what F-One says about the 2017 F-One Magic SUPFoil

The 2017 F-One Magic SUPFoil aim was to create two sizes of SUP boards designed to take-off on average or poor quality waves, whatever their sizes. The 2017 F-One Magic SUPFoil was a golden opportunity to start from a blank page and make no compromises. We wanted to achieve take-off as early as possible and then gain enough speed on the wave to lift off and foil. On the two 2017 F-One Magic SUPFoil sizes, 8’6 and 9’6, the entire shape has been thought towards foiling. Outline, rocker, volume distribution, box locations and feet positions, everything is made to get you up on the foil.

This is something totally new. The 2017 F-One Magic SUPFoil boards are quite long and narrow to allow for a better take-off on outside reef waves which are less powerful. Being slightly longer, the 2017 F-One Magic SUPFoil 9’6 will allow easier take-offs. Important note: it is possible to surf less powerful waves with a foil with an amazing feeling but the foil does not enable an earlier take-off. It is therefore important to choose correctly the size of the board depending on the wave to be surfed.
